PlazaGPR
Why we built PlazaGPR

I got tired of the same tradeoffs: global feeds optimized for outrage, permanent bans with no real appeal, and follow graphs you can't clean up. Meeting someone nearby still means trading Instagram handles after you've already met in person.
PlazaGPR is a bet that social can feel more like a town plaza and less like a content casino. Your plaza is your city. Your avatar can wander. Social AI Cards introduce people with shared context — county, café, interests — not raw GPS stalking.
We're shipping a playable browser beta first on purpose. You should feel the product before we ask for an app install. Multiplayer cities come after the single-player loop is fun.
Moderation will never be perfect. "No permanent bans" and transparent cool-downs are a product stance, not a slogan. Your identity and graph shouldn't vanish because a reviewer had a bad afternoon.
PlazaGPR sits next to VectorData in the company, not as a random side quest. Same founder, same rule: respect the human on the other side of the screen.
